Historic tour Marathon , Thermopylae Starting from Athens Athens in the morning ,drive through the fertile plain of Mesogia.
Visit the battlefields of Marathona and the tombs of the Athenian soldiers who died in the battle. Visit the museum.
Leave Marathon for the drive to Thermopylae stopping to see the statue of Leonidas. This is a tour strictly to see the battlefields and the scenery, there are no ancient ruins to see. The morphology of the ground has changed due to erosion by rain and sea. You can still get a good idea of how the battle must have been and where it took place. To obtain more detailed information on the sites and what took place at Marathon and Thermopylae please use the hyperlinks below.
Option: Visit Delhi if you would like to visit the Oracle of Apollo which the Greeks would consult before battles. This would add another 2-3 hours to the tour. You can view my portfolio of photos at http://www.panoramio.com/user/45649/tags/Delphi
All the information & photos on this website is updated continuously. I myself visit all sites at least once the month.
